Small Steps!

Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take many small steps.

- Helmut Schmidt

Always imagine yourself as a kid who has just began to walk. Its the small step that it takes that makes sure that he/she can walk through out the life!

Likewise, in life what matters is those small steps that we take to ensure that we have an harmonious life! For example a small step of quitting smoking/drinking etc, can make things better for you in the longer run. Now I know your devil mind, the next question will be, I don't smoke at all! Well my answer is that in itself is the small step!

Life is all about doing those small things like keeping your parents/children/friends happy! In today's world we forget these small steps but only think about large steps of buying a house, car etc. What is the point in having a car without your happy child?

Well I don't deny that its important. All am saying that in pursuit of what we think as greater happiness, we miss the smaller ones and eventually miss enjoying the greater one too.

Can we be Self Made?

No one in the world has defined what he will be.
Everyone we meet or any word that we hear, or any act that would inspire shapes us!

Don't ever say that am a "self-made" man!!! We are made by many like us, around us, even might be on the remotest part of the globe whom we would have not met, but whose thoughts we would know by media or books or whatever!

I stand up and say, am influenced by others!

Now, am I successful? I don't know, because success is a relative factor. Its like running race. If I run a race without anyone, am the winner. If I have somebody in the race and he does not run, then still am a winner!

No achievement is good/bad or small/great! If you feel content by not killing an ant, then you are a success! And the irony is, if you are to be killed by a lion, then you might as well be called as a failure! Thats life!

So, even success is influenced by others! Don't ever think that you don't need anybody in your life! We are not "Self-Made"
